Joan
I have been tutoring since 2004 and have gained extensive experience and knowledge of the curriculum. I am familiar with all the boards for A level Chemistry, having taught Edexcel, AQA, OCR A . I have also taught IB Higher Chemistry as well as GCSE Chemistry and Physics.
I have a valid DBS dated 09 November 2023
Tutoring Experience
I have about 20 years of private tuition experience with particular expertise in the following:
• AS /A2 level Chemistry: all exam boards and IB Higher Chemistry ( including international students )
• GCSE Chemistry
I can tutor on 'zoom' , or face to face if local.
Tutoring Approach
I explain a topic to a student, giving them key points to note down in order to enable them to answer questions. Then I get the student to try past paper questions or questions from text books, guiding them through difficulties they face. I check their understanding of the subject matter by asking questions and setting homework on the topic studied. Nearer to the exam we use the mark scheme as a guide to answering past paper questions to ensure students use the key words successfully for their specific exam board.
Before the first lesson is arranged l would like to contact the student and parent to discuss their requirements and issues.
Online tuition has been be available using zoom, since the pandemic.
